PRUNING THE IVY: Trump DHS Ends Harvard's Student Visa Program, 'It is a Privilege, Not a Right'

Harvard refuses to comply with Trump 2.0’s orders…

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is terminating Harvard University’s student visa program over what it calls “pro-terrorist conduct” at campus protests, Fox News Digital has learned.

DHS says the move comes after Harvard repeatedly refused to provide behavioral records for international students, despite multiple requests.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments. Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused. They have lost their Student and Exchange Visitor Program certification as a result of their failure to adhere to the law. Let this serve as a warning to all universities and academic institutions across the country.”

Harvard will be barred from enrolling new international students for the 2025–2026 school year, and current foreign students must transfer to another institution or risk losing their legal status before the academic year begins.

“As a result of your brazen refusal to comply with multiple requests to provide the Department of Homeland Security pertinent information while perpetuating an unsafe campus environment that is hostile to Jewish students, promotes pro-Hamas rhetoric, and employs racist ‘diversity, equity, and inclusion’ policies, you have lost this privilege,” Noem wrote in a letter to Maureen Martin, the university’s director of immigration services.
